Volcanos are the latest draw for those seeking adventure. And it
does not always mean travelling around the planet for one's
thrills

Discovering the secrets hidden in the craters, amidst magma,
dust and splinters; sensing the majesty of dormant volcanoes, or
tracing their history from the remains of a distant past. This is
the latest passion of the most adventurous.

In Iceland, tours to the famous
volcano of Eyjafjallajökul have resumed
(Iceland Travel). A real expedition, with
a geologist from Italy or local guides, is required to see the
ErtaAle volcano in
Ethiopia, proposed by Kel
12. Another appealing destination is an ascent of
Kilimanjaro, now dormant - the journey proposed by
Hotelplan - along the Machame
route. And thematic tours in volcanic areas on every
continent are offered by Kailas, which has a dozen
geologists to accompany small groups in Iceland, on the Andes, in
the Azores and in Italy: Etna and
Stromboli, the latter being one of the most active
volcanoes in the world.
